GLEN MCDERMOTT

Founder & CEO

I have traveled 37 countries , mainly on 2 slow wheels 

This experience made three things crystal-clear. 1) The best way to achieve big, audacious goals is to have fun doing it; 2) maintaining fitness makes for a wholesome life; and 3) travel is a rich source of empathy, especially on a bicycle when your impressions of the world are so vivid and you are quite vulnerable.

Putting these lessons into practice, I created a company that builds healthy communities. At Red Rock, we have succeeded in doing this at scale over ten years in partnership with established and emerging brands. Long-term clients have included Yale School of Medicine, Columbia University, Connecticut’s statewide manufacturing association ManufactureCT, Conscious Capitalism, and now the City of New Haven’s Department of Health, among others.

My team is ready to guide YOU and your community towards new levels of wellbeing and purpose.
